hey i just want to comment on coaches in general, i myself am a coach and i think that some coaches need to CHILLAX! 3 examples are the socceroos coach, the coach of the forrestville abl mens team and the coaching of a juniour sturt team. its getting to the stage were it could get ugly!!

Well Brad, different coaching approaches are needed based on the personality of the team. It's vary naive to say we should all just chill. Some teams need to have a coach getting on them and reminding them of what to do, and putting pressure on them to perform. Sometimes the players get energy from the coach, and the supporters !
If you are referring to how these coaches relate to the refs, well - playing the refs is part of the game! A well timed word here or there can alert refs to things being honestly missed, and getting in their ears can certainly help your team.

What do you mean getting in a refs ear, can sometimes alert them to things that are going on. What a load of rubbish as a referee of many years, all it does is gets the refs back up, and sometimes calls just might go the other way if they are 50/50. Anyway refs are out there to ref not take abuse from coaches who half the time dont know the rules or the interpretation of them anyway.
Its about time refs started handing out tech fouls left right and centre to any coaches who step over the line.

although the theme song for socceroo's is kinda gay... lol sounds like a pop song... not very 'inspirational' :oP
"Its about time refs started handing out tech fouls left right and centre to any coaches who step over the line. "
its about time refs with this attitude changed. they are there are part of the game not despite it. at least refs that have played or coached at a high level can understand what its like and some of those that havent can at least understand.
firstly this sturt hating needs to stop...its like kobe hating....based on jealousy. most people just know they arent good enough to be part of the exclusive club.
I thought you paid your fees and that was that.
How could it be exclusive?
I live at Mitcham who else would I play for?
I think anyone there knows there is now two Sturts. One is the exclusive 'boys club' the other is the rest.
But hey they're getting results on the board so good on them.

Not a bad comment Daniel. I like how you refer to getting your players to do what you want first. Just adding a bit on the side at the refs.
If the coach is working hard to ensure his players are doing the right thing I am sure his frustration will be tolerated more than the coach who does nothing but just directs everything at the refs.
I can definatly see how you can criticise stusrt coaches...winning best over all club...thats pretty easy to do with bad coaching isnt it? Think about it...even if the club does have talented players...they need coaches to control them, no player makes it on their own. Bout time we got off sturts back i think
Yeah,
Sturt's success has had nothing to do with their coaches.
What I can't understand is why other clubs don't have the same number of good players that Sturt do?
Becasue developing good players has nothing to do with good coaching.
NB(yes I was being sarcastic)
is the two clubs thing to do with city south vs div 1/2's?

no its not, i think sturt are only good because of their recruting. i have 3 players in my team that came from sturt. i also have to say that in under10's city south they cheated for most of the season wich resulted in a team being pulled out of the comp. sturt think winning is everything
Coming from somebody from Forestville that is hilareous.
Look at your ABA teams mate. How many of them are actaully Forestville juniors. Probably 6 all up for both teams. Then go and look at Sturts.
Better still look at the junior teams at Forestville and have a look at how many come from other clubs.
I believe a coach does recruit players. Therefore saying that sturts recruiting is good is also saying that there coaching staff is good. So thankyou Brad

What do you mean Sturt cheated in the Under 10 City South Comp.
I thought that was social.
